Aortopulmonary window with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare but important lesion. We report a 13-day-old patient presenting with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery with aortopulmonary window. We connected the aorta with the anomalous ostium, using closure of aortopulmonary window with the help of autologous pericardial patch.
